FOLEY, Alabama -- Bond was set at $100,000 this morning for each of three teens charged as adults with first-degree burglary in the Gravine Island shooting case.

Baldwin County District Court Judge Jody Bishop also added the condition that the 17-year-olds have no contact with shooting victim Summer Moody or her family. Moody, also 17, was listed in critical condition at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in the latest reports made available on Tuesday.

A prosecutor in the burglary cases of Scott Tipton Byrd and Dillon Wade Tyree, both of Stapleton, and Daniel Parnell of Bay Minette, said an investigation of an incident that occurred prior to the alleged 4 a.m. fishing camp break-in is under way. "We see additional charges forthcoming," he said.

Family members for the teens present in the court hearing were emotional and one woman asked the judge to consider reducing the bond. Bishop said that as soon as attorneys file a request to that effect, a hearing would be held to consider it.

Should the teens post bail, they will remain under house arrest, the judge said.

During the hearing, Byrd and Tyree said that attorneys would be hired for their defense, and Parnell requested that a lawyer be appointed to his case.

No additional details involving the case were revealed.

The three teens had initially been charged as juveniles with a lesser offense. A person accused of carrying a weapon during a burglary can be charged with first-degree burglary, a crime with a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Baldwin County District Attorney Hallie Dixon said information gathered so far in the investigation led to the upgraded charges.

Moody was shot after two men at the scene each fired a shot from small-caliber rifles after they heard the group. The girl was the only person hit by a bullet, according to officials.
